Variable-temperature X-ray diffraction studies confirm that the structural state of curcuminoids is influenced by temperature. Our findings also reveal that the <i>β</i>-keto-enol form is favored in acidic and neutral conditions, while the diketo form is more prevalent in basic environments. The theoretical Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations further elucidate the energy differences between the diketo and <i>β</i>-keto-enol forms, emphasizing the significance of electronic effects and temperature on tautomeric distributions.

Due to the enhanced electrical conductivity and electrocatalytic characteristics of CMP-rGO, the sensor demonstrated a low detection limit of 0.07 μM and a broad response range of 0.08–20 μM. Furthermore, this reusable sensor exhibited acceptable recoveries when evaluating vanillin in pharmaceuticals and human serum.
